Hoptoad and Javascript, Sitting in a Tree, S-E-N-D-I-N-G

With an open API, Hoptoad, the app error
app, can track errors from any sort of app you want:
Rails, Sinatra, Rack, PHP, C#…
the list goes on. We didn’t want to leave front-end developers in the dark when
their Javascript throws errors, so we’ve added a Hoptoad notifier for
Javascript!

I’m sure you’re asking, “How do I participate in this awesomeness?”. It’s easy.

If you’re using the hoptoad_notifier
gem, upgrade to the latest version
(2.3.7 at the time of this update) and update your
config/initializers/hoptoad.rb:

The details

You may be proclaiming, “Oh no, Javascript at the top of <head>! What are you
thinking?” I’ll let you in on a little secret: we want our Javascript loaded
before any other Javascript. That way, if one of those libraries throws an
exception, we’re there to let you know!

The nitty-gritty details: we’re currently only supporting browsers that support
the onerror event (Firefox 2+,
IE6+). You’ll also be
including your project API key on the page. This is different from your user API key, so there’s no need to
worry about someone deleting your projects or users. We’ll continue to expand
this feature and let you know as we progress. If you have any suggestions or
spot a bug, let us know!
